    Apple fritter cruffin, chocolate zucchini muffin, cranberry orange muffin, rhubarb danish, cheddar chive scone
    Del A.

    Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 I'll start off by saying that I haven't tried any of their drinks at this location but I got a few pastries and was pleasantly surprised at how good they were! I made my order for pickup in the evening and scored with having no line when I walked in. The staff member behind the counter was really friendly and had my order ready to go which was great because I was in and out in 2min. I picked up an Apple fritter cruffin, a chocolate zucchini muffin, a cranberry orange muffin, a cheddar and chive scone, and a rhubarb pastry. Normally with chains I have low expectations for pastries but these were all really good! The muffins were super moist and the scone had a great flavour but the two winners were definitely the cruffin and the danish! There's ample seating here but whenever I pass by it seems to be a popular spot for people on their laptops so it might be hard getting a table since the turnover is quite slow. I plan on coming back to see how it is sitting in the cafe as well!

    14th and Main Street location of JJ Bean offers plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, JJ Bean baking and a homey interior. Our first time at this location, we were able to find street parking a few steps away. There are a lot of dining and coffee places close by, this area is popular with locals and tourists alike. We shared our standard Americano plus a savoury cheese and chive scone and very berry muffin. Nice touch, they have wooden cutlery and butter on the condiment area. They also have stevia and a good supply of napkins. Staff was friendly, order came up quickly and the coffee was very good. Establishment was clean and tables were cleared. Overall 4.5 out of 5 IMO.

    Stopped by for some bike ride coffee stop at 7.30am on a weekday. Great service and really convenient location. Spacious patio outside away from the traffic / cars.

    Vegan berry parfait

    This review will be short, but perhaps not sweet. I've been here before and wasn't a fan, and years later I'm still not a fan. I ordered a vegan parfait and honestly it could have been so much better than it was. I particularly didn't like the granola. It was literally all pumpkin seeds. The parfait also wasn't sweet enough. It was one of the most unpleasant desserts I've had in awhile. Just because it's vegan doesn't mean it shouldn't be appetizing. I could have a designed a better one, honestly. The ambiance is ok, nothing great. I doubt I'll give this place a third chance.

    Terrible sandwich

    Yes, another disappointment and very surprised as this place had four and five star reviews. Coffee smelled great that's what brought me in and I wanted a sandwich to go. I bought a package roasted chicken sandwich for $11. Photos below and what a surprise that it had nothing in it except hard discolored chicken with no lettuce or tomato and Soggy bread. Oh well scratch this one off my list for next time

    Came here for some coffee. Parking is available on the side streets. This location is quite different in that there is a really nice large patio that extends onto the street. Definitely makes the outdoor experience way more enjoyable. Special mention. Not sure if this is only during the summer months though. As for the coffee, it's pretty decent.

    Small Mocha

    The mochas and their Krispy Oatmeal Raisin Cookie are a must try!! (or just try ANY cookie - I swear they never disappoint!) I've tried my fair share of mochas across Vancouver, and nothing beats the mochas made here! I love the strong chocolatey taste, and it honeslty feels like a warm and awakening cup of hug. This JJ Bean is in a very lovely and friendly neighbourhood. As a bonus, only at this location, there are always a few pigeons who somehow sneak in the store, and it's so entertaining watching the pigeons pick up the crumbs off the floor and eventually find their way out of the store!

    Great vibe, nice place to hang out, good chocolate cookies, the best beans in town for home-made espresso.

    My husband and I are regulars at this JJ Bean location. The staff are friendly and always make a perfect Amerciano.

    I ordered the 6 inch mango cake for my sister's birthday and it was absolutely worth it! The cake…read morewas light, fresh, and full of delicious mango flavour without being overly sweet. It was a huge hit with everyone! The 6 inch cake was $69 and I added a customized birthday message on chocolate for an extra $3 which was a nice personal touch. They also offer a gluten free option for an additional $10 which is great for accommodating different dietary needs. One thing to keep in mind is that you'll want to order online well in advance because their cakes sell out quickly. I can definitely see why. They're fantastic! I'll be ordering from Gary's Patisserie again for future celebrations.

    Have seen Gary's fresh mango cakes all over IG and with my Dad's recent birthday I convinced my…read moresister to order one, instead of our usual mango cake from Saint Germaine bakery. Gary's only allows to order the fresh mango cakes up to one week ahead to ensure they have enough ripe mangos, which I admire their dedication. We ordered the 6 inch cake for 9 people (7 adults and 2 kids) and everyone got a thin to average slice. The cake is definitely prettier than the other fresh mango cakes on the market, has a lot more mangos that are perfectly ripe and sweet, there is less wipped cream, and the sponge cake is softer. The family agreed that Gary's has the best fresh mango cake but at $69 for a 6 inch cake, versus $43 for a 6 inch mango cake from Saint Germaine, a cake from Gary's is definitely a treat and for special occasions. Is Gary's worth the premium price? I think so but not everyone in my family agreed. One thing to note: Gary's do offer cake in a jar that's $8.50 each. When we went, they had a BOGO deal with the mango cake jars. My nephew asked my sister to buy the BOGO deal knowing that the 6 inch cake was not going to be enough, as the kids like having a second slice of cake.

Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!
